Investec have commissioned me to produce the perpetual trophy for the Derby.
"Perpetual trophies are an integral part of the Festival but the same has curiously been untrue of the Derby. Until now, winning connections have received a one-off memento rather than something readily identified with the race. Investec, the new sponsors, are about to rectify this.
Charlie Langton, the renowned artist, has been commissioned to design an iconic trophy, intended to represent the Derby just as the Ashes urn or the World Cup characterise those contests. It will be launched by John Oxx, trainer of last year's winner Sea The Stars, at Epsom's April meeting and then be taken on tour around the Derby trials."
